Just got (unsolicited!) an email of an essay from Marc Andreessen that is clearly meant to be his definitive statement on AI, akin to his "software eating the world" polemic, and it is so _stupid_, so willfully intellectually dishonest, that anyone who reports on it, or reacts to it, with anything other than dismissal is either a fool or complicit in his explicitly authoritarian agenda.

Lessons, living with parents with dementia: when an app on their phone spontaneously changes it's icon, it's a fucking disaster. Some Google engineer launched a feature that got them a promotion and now my mom can't use her phone anymore. Silicon Valley is incapable of imagining a user who isn't a 27 year old white man.

Why aren’t the “godfathers” of AI talking about the massive data theft from artists & their lawsuits eg? Because that discourse is too beneath their genius brains to cover? They have to talk about grand endeavors like SAVING HUMANITY? Because their practices would be implicated?

two days of amazing talks and chats with attendees followed by one or more days of replaying all of those conversations to file any personally embarrassing moments in long term memory conferences! 😅🫠
